There ...I am currently residing in a large RV park. There are seven &quot;streets&quot; through the park allowing for about eleven rows of parking spaces.<br /><br />This morning, I walked to dog along a street that I called the &quot;there, I fixed it&quot; row. Several of the RVs, which should more properly be called residences, will probably not move until someone fails to pay the rent. The dwellings had various supports, attachments, steps, porches, and shelters added on.<br /><br />At the opposite end of the park are the shiny vehicles up to 45&#39; long with their shiny towed vehicles snuggled in beside them. The folk in those vehicles will be here for a few days and move on to another scenic location with mild weather.<br /><br />I am nestled in the middle with my 17 year old luxurious motorhome with functional, dirty towed vehicle parked beside.<br /><br />What I expect is that the perception of whether it is the &quot;best of times&quot; or &quot;worst of times&quot; may be present in some of the minds on each row in the park. The &quot;best of times&quot; might be most likely perceived here in the middle. The &quot;worst of times&quot; is probably more likely to be in the minds of those on the &quot;there, I fixed it&quot; row AND the row with the shiniest, newest, biggest, &quot;best&quot; &quot;stuff.&quot;<br /><br />Through what lens does a person look? My lens and memory show that I have spent a lot of my life in the &quot;best of times.&quot; When it was the &quot;worst of times,&quot; the times weren&#39;t so different, but I was. I am indeed fortunate that external factors have not forced the &quot;worst of times&quot; on me. <br /><br />I enjoy your essays regarding perceptions, memories, expectations, and &quot;truth.&quot;<br /><br /> JDGeezer Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743039362133956705noreply@blogger.com
